### Regular spaces
|
|
|
|
#### Proposition for $T_1$ spaces
|
|
|
|
If $X$ is a topological space such that all singleton are closed, then then following holds:
|
|
|
|
- $X$ is regular if and only if for any point $x\in X$ and any open neighborhood $V$ of $X$ such that $\overline{V}\subseteq U$.
|
|
- $X$ is normal if and only if for any closed set $A\subseteq X$, there is an open neighborhood $V$ of $A$ such that $\overline{V}\subseteq U$.
|
|
|
|
#### Proposition of regular and Hausdorff on subspaces
|
|
|
|
1. If $X$ is a regular topological space, and $Y$ is a subspace. Then $Y$ with induced topology is regular. (same holds for Hausdorff)
|
|
2. If $\{X_\alpha\}$ is a collection of regular topological spaces, then their product with the product topology is regular. (same holds for Hausdorff)
|
|
|
|

|
|
<summary>Proof</summary>
|
|
|
|
1. If $X$ is regular and $Y\subseteq X$,then we want to show that $Y$ is regular.
|
|
|
|
We take a point $y\in Y$ and a closed subset $A$ of $Y$ which doesn't contain $y$.
|
|
|
|
Observe that $A\subseteq Y$ is closed if and only if $A=\overline{A}\cap Y$ where $\overline{A}$ is the closure of $A$ in $X$.
|
|
|
|
Notice that $y\in Y$ but $y\notin A$, then $y\notin \overline{A}$ (otherwise $y\in A$).
|
|
|
|
By regularity of $X$, we can find an open neighborhood $y\in U\subseteq X$ and $\overline{A}\subseteq V\subseteq X$ and $U,V$ are open and disjoint.
|
|
|
|
This implies that $U\cap Y$ and $V\cap Y$ are open neighborhood of $y$ and $A$ and disjoint from each other.
|
|
|
|
(Proof for Hausdorff is similar)
|
|

|
2. If $\{X_\alpha\}$ is a collection of regular topological spaces, then their product with the product topology is regular.
|
|
|
|
We take a collection of regular spaces $\{X_\alpha\}_{\alpha\in I}$.
|
|
|
|
We want to show that their product with the product topology is regular.
|
|
|
|
Take $\underline{x}=(x_\alpha)_{\alpha\in I}\in \prod_{\alpha\in I}X_\alpha$, any open neighborhood of $x$ contains a basis element of the form
|
|
|
|
$$
|
|
\prod_{\alpha\in I}U_\alpha
|
|
$$
|
|
|
|
with $x_\alpha\in U_\alpha$ for all $\alpha\in I$, and all but finitely many $U_\alpha$ are equal to $X_\alpha$. (By definition of product topology)
|
|
|
|
Now for each $\alpha_i$ take an open neighborhood $V_\alpha$ of $x_{\alpha_i}$ such that
|
|
|
|
1. $\overline{V_\alpha}\subseteq U_\alpha$ (This can be cond by regularity of $X_\alpha$)
|
|
2. $V_\alpha=X_\alpha$ if $U_\alpha=X_\alpha$
|
|
|
|
The product of $\prod_{\alpha\in I}V_\alpha$ is an open neighborhood of $\underline{x}$ and
|
|
|
|
$$
|
|
\overline {\prod_{\alpha\in I}V_\alpha}=\prod_{\alpha\in I}\overline{V_\alpha}\subseteq \prod_{\alpha\in I}U_\alpha
|
|
$$
|
|
|
|
Therefore, $X$ is regular.
|
|
|
|
(Proof for Hausdorff is similar)
|
|
|
|
|
|
If we replace the regularity with Hausdorffness, then we can take two points $\underline{x},\underline{y}$. Then there exists $\alpha_0$ such that $x_{\alpha_0}\neq y_{\alpha_0}$. We can use this to build disjoint open neighborhoods
|
|
|
|
$$
|
|
x_{\alpha_0}\in U_{\alpha_0}\subseteq X_{\alpha_0},\quad y_{\alpha_0}\in V_{\alpha_0}\subseteq X_{\alpha_0}
|
|
$$
|
|
|
|
of $x_{\alpha_0}$ and $y_{\alpha_0}$.
|
|
|
|
Then we take $U_\alpha=\begin{cases} U_{\alpha_0} &\alpha= \alpha_0\\ X_{\alpha_0} & \text{otherwise}\end{cases}$ and $V_\alpha=\begin{cases} V_{\alpha_0} &\alpha= \alpha_0\\ X_{\alpha_0} & \text{otherwise}\end{cases}$.
|
|
|
|
These two sets are disjoint and $\prod_{\alpha\in I}U_{\alpha}$ and $\prod_{\alpha\in I}V_{\alpha}$ are open neighborhoods of $x$ and $y$.

Recall that this property does not hold for subspace of normal spaces.
|
|
|
|
### How we construct new normal spaces from existing one
|
|
|
|
#### Theorem for constructing normal spaces
|
|
|
|
1. Any compact Hausdorff space is normal
|
|
2. Any regular second countable space is normal
|
|
|

<summary>Proof</summary>
|
|
|
|
For the first proposition
|
|
|
|
Earlier we showed that any compact Hausdorff space $X$ is regular, i.e., for any closed subspace $A$ of $X$ and a point $x\in X$ not in $A$. There are open neighborhoods $U_x$ of $A$ and $V_x$ of $x$ such that $U_x\cap V_x=\emptyset$.
|
|
|
|
Now let $B$ be a closed subset of $X$ disjoint from $A$.
|
|
|
|
For any $x\in B$, we know that we have a disjoint open neighborhood $U_x$ of $A$ and $V_x$ of $x$.
|
|
|
|
$\{V_n\}_{n\in \mathbb{B}}$ gives an open covering of $B$, $B$ is closed subset of a compact space, therefore, $B$ is compact.
|
|
|
|
This implies that $\exists x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n$ such that $B\subseteq \bigcup_{i=1}^n V_{x_i}$.
|
|
|
|
$U\coloneqq \bigcup_{i=1}^n U_{x_i}$ is an open covering of $A$.
|
|
|
|
$U_{x_i}\cap V_{x_i}=\emptyset$ implies that $\bigcup_{i=1}^n U_{x_i}\cap \bigcup_{i=1}^n V_{x_i}=\emptyset$.
|
|
|
|
In summary, $U$ and $V$ are disjoint open neighborhoods of $A$ and $B$ respectively.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
We want to show that any regular second countable space is normal.
|
|
|
|
Take $A,B$ be two disjoint closed subsets of $X$. We want to show that we can find disjoint open neighborhoods $U$ of $A$ and $V$ of $B$ such that $U\cap V=\emptyset$.
|
|
|
|
Step 1:
|
|
|
|
There is a countable open covering $\{U_i\}_{i\in I}$ of $A$ such that for any $i$, $\overline{U_i}\cap B=\emptyset$.
|
|
|
|
For any $x\in A$, $X-B$ is an open neighborhood of $x$ and by reformulation of regularity, we can find an open set $U_i'$ such that $\overline{U_i'}\subseteq X-B$.
|
|
|
|
(We will use the second countability of $X$ to produce countable open coverings)
|
|
|
|
Let $B$ be a countable basis and let $U_x\in \mathcal{B}$ such that $x\in U_x\subseteq U_x'$.
|
|
|
|
Note that $\overline{U_x}\subseteq \overline{U_x'}\subseteq X-B$.
|
|
|
|
and $\{U_x\}_{x\in A}\subseteq \mathcal{B}$ is a countable collection.
|
|
|
|
So this is a countable open covering of $A$ by relabeling the elements of this open covering we can denote it by $\{U_i\}_{i\in\mathbb{N}}$.
|
|
|
|
Step 2:
|
|
|
|
There is a countable open covering $\{V_i\}_{i\in I}$ of $B$ such that for any $i$, $\overline{V_i}\cap A=\emptyset$.
|
|
|
|
Step 3:
|
|
|
|
Let's define $\hat{U}_i=U_i-\bigcup_{j=1}^i\overline{V}_j=U_i\cap (X-\bigcup_{j=1}^i \overline{V}_j)$, note that $(X-\bigcup_{j=1}^i \overline{V}_j)$ and $U_i$ is open in $X$, therefore $\hat{U}_i$ is open in $X$.
|
|
|
|
Since $A\subseteq \bigcup_{i=1}^\infty U_i$ and $\overline{V_j}\cap A=\emptyset$, we have $\bigcup_{i=1}^\infty \hat{U}_i\supseteq A$.
|
|
|
|
Similarly, we have:
|
|
|
|
$$
|
|
\hat{V}_i=V_i-\bigcup_{j=1}^i\overline{U}_j=V_i\cap (X-\bigcup_{j=1}^i \overline{U}_j)
|
|
$$
|
|
|
|
is also open and $\bigcup_{i=1}^\infty \hat{V}_i\supseteq B$.
|
|
|
|
Then we claim that these two open neighborhoods $U=\bigcup_{i=1}^\infty \hat{U}_i$ and $V=\bigcup_{i=1}^\infty \hat{V}_i$ are disjoint.
|
|
|
|
To see this, we proceed by contradiction, suppose $x\in \bigcup_{i=1}^\infty \hat{U}_i\cap \bigcup_{i=1}^\infty \hat{V}_i$, $x\in \bigcup_{i=1}^\infty \hat{U}_i$ and $x\in \bigcup_{i=1}^\infty \hat{V}_i$.
|
|
|
|
$x\in \bigcup_{i=1}^\infty \hat{U}_i$ implies that $\exists k$ such that $x\in \hat{U}_k$ and $\exists l$ such that $x\in \hat{V}_l$.
|
|
|
|
Suppose without loss of generality that $k\leq l$.
|
|
|
|
Then $x\in \hat{U}_k\subseteq U_k$, and $x\in \hat{V}$ implies that $\forall j\leq l:x\notin U_j$. This gives $x\notin U_k$.
|
|
|
|
This is a contradiction.
|
|
|
|
Therefore, $U$ and $V$ are disjoint.
